Coffee and Trivia
Just got a new cafetiere, so I can finally switch back from instant coffee to the real deal again for my morning coffee. My productivity has doubled. Still no DSL, though — early next week is the current estimate, and I can hardly wait.
I went to a pub quiz last night with mates Macker, Tom and Alan — a benefit for a new Dublin theatre company, I think. The prizes were:
- First prize: several 50 Euron vouchers for various Dublin eateries
- Second prize: two fancy scarves, a Nivea women’s cosmetics kit, and a very metrosexual Nivea bath kit for a guy
- Third prize: 4 bottles of nice wine
We did very nicely — “aglet” was correctly defined for instance — but not nicely enough. Put it this way: guess who’s wearing Nivea deodorant?

aglet: the couture answer, or the computer science answer?

The couture answer.
Is there a computer science answer? I really should know that one, rather than the bloody shoelace one!
(looks) — ah — found it — mobile agents. That’s alright, I did know that one at one stage, but had chosen to forget it in a brain-FIFO style ;)

I’ve not done regular quizzing for quite some time - and hardly get time to check out the quizzes on Quiznet (http://groups.yahoo.com/groups/quiznet/) - check the old archives, of the first year or two it was in operation - quality’s detiriorated a lot these days .. but its still at a rather different level from most pub quizzing.
